Ethnobotany is concerned with the study of the knowledge developed by society about the plant world, encompassing both the way they classify plants and the way they use them. It is likely that the use of medicinal plants as medicine is as old as man himself, and is more evident in developing countries, where most of the poor population does not have access to pharmacy medicines.
